Ah, the old "the UK government will never let XXX company fail so if we (unions) force the failure it will have to be nationalised and all our jobs will be saved". Very popular tactic in the 1970s I recall, however, virtually none of the companies are now around.
Personally I think BA will get through this because they are quite agile and do appear smarter than some lame duck airlines that are constantly bailed out by their country, ie AZ. Certainly some tough times ahead for IAG/BA though, I cannot imagine having to make decisions in a company where business has collapsed by 95%. Really unprecedented times for the travel industry
